Overview
- Kodai Sano sealed the victory with a last-second strike after build-up play by Noé Lebreton and Tjaronn Chery.
- NEC raced ahead through Eli Dasa and Sami Ouaissa before NAC rallied, with Moussa Soumano scoring twice and Boy Kemper equalising after Dirk Proper had restored NEC's lead.
- Bryan Linssen served a suspension, and his replacement Lebreton started and contributed decisively to the winning move.
- The result caps another late show in a season marked by NEC's attacking approach and frequent stoppage-time goals.
- Kento Shioga is set for a move to VfL Wolfsburg for about €10 million pending a medical next week, and NEC plans to add a centre forward with only Koki Ogawa fit as Youssef El Kachati remains out.
